Majority of Israeli Jews believe Obama is pro-'Palestinian'

Only 16 percent of Israelis believe US President Barack Obama’s
administration is more pro-Israel than pro-Palestinian, according to a
Smith Research poll taken Wednesday night, exclusively for The
Jerusalem Post.

The poll of 500 respondents representing a
statistical sample of the adult Israeli Jewish population was taken
following a report in The Atlantic in which officials close to Obama
were quoted sharply criticizing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and
calling him “chickenshit.”

The report resulted in a major
backlash among Israelis and in criticism of Obama across the political
spectrum. Smith Research has asked Israelis in 11 Jerusalem Post polls
throughout Obama’s tenure whether his administration is more
pro-Israel, more pro-Palestinian, or neutral, which is seen as the
bellwether question of whether Israelis believe a US president is on
their side.

The new poll found that 53% consider the
administration more pro-Palestinian than pro-Israel, 20% called it
neutral, and 11% did not express an opinion. The margin of error of the
poll was 4.5 percentage points.

By contrast, the last Smith
Research poll that asked the question, following Obama’s March 2013
visit to Israel, found that 27% considered his administration more
pro-Israel, 16% said more pro-Palestinian, 39% neutral and 18% did not
express an opinion. Since then, Obama’s administration has gone from an
11% majority calling it more pro-Israel, to a majority of 37% deeming
it more pro-Palestinian.

Ya think?? As Gibbs says on NCIS. Not only is our Quisling CIC pro-Islamist, his arrogance in not disciplining an aide for insulting BIBI is outrageous. The worse thing about all of this in the USA is that Jewish American voters still ignorantly vote D and then see Dems insult and ignore Israel. Yikes.

Our president is a sniveling coward, a Judas and a traitor to America and her allies. He is a poser and claims to be Christian but we all know that his sympathies and allegiances lie with Radical Islamic groups who want to bring death to our two nations. I am certain that Israel with her spy network MUST have proof that he is not a natural born citizen. We would be forever in your debt if you could see your way fit to bring him down.

About Me

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
